About this care
Welcome to Peuteropvang De Hartendiefjes, a warm and cozy place in the heart of Valkenburg where toddlers aged 2 to 4 feel completely at home. We are part of the MIK & Spelenderwijs Kindontwikkeling foundation and provide care for up to 16 children per day. With us, everything revolves around playing, discovering and having fun!
Our location at Schoolstraat 2 features a spacious, shared playground where children can run, climb, cycle and play in the sandbox. The sandbox is nicely sheltered under a large tree, providing pleasant shade on warm days. Outdoor movement and playing together are central to our daily activities.
Besides our outdoor space, we regularly use the gym next to our toddler care facility. Here we dance to the best music, build exciting obstacle courses and play the craziest games. We believe movement is important and above all, great fun! Inside we do crafts, sing together and read the most beautiful stories.
We work with horizontal groups, allowing toddlers of the same age to play and learn together. Our pedagogical staff create a safe and challenging environment every day where your child can develop optimally. We believe in the power of learning through play and make use of children's natural curiosity.
Feel free to drop by for a tour and experience the warm atmosphere of Peuteropvang De Hartendiefjes yourself. We look forward to meeting you and your little sweetheart!Read more

Summary
Peuteropvang PO De Hartendiefjes in Valkenburg was inspected on 9 March 2026 by GGD Zuid-Limburg (Municipal Health Service). The location, part of Stichting MIK & Spelenderwijs Kindontwikkeling, provides care for a maximum of 16 children aged 2 to 4 years. Almost all quality requirements were found to be satisfactory at the time of inspection: administration, pedagogical policy, staff registration, domestic violence reporting protocol, and mandatory reporting obligations. One violation was identified regarding safety and health: the safety and health policy was not location-specific and lacked concrete measures for a significant safety risk. The toddler daycare shares a playground with a primary school where a new adventure garden with water-filled moats has recently been constructed; without proper separation, there was a risk of a child falling into the water. Following a recovery offer, the holder revised the policy to include, among other measures, a fencing plan, marking of the play area, and amended house rules. The shortcoming has been resolved. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
